Special Offer

Happy New Year Bacchanalia Customers, Here is the January & February Special Offer: Add a Cup of Soup for $1, Add a House Salad for $2, First Bottle of Imported Merlot or Pinot Grigio $12, thereafter $20

We love Bacchanalia. Always go there when I go to meet in the city. Veal Saltimbocca off the menu is what we order normally. Its like eating with Don Corleone. Often see families, cops, couples and sometimes maybe a Don!! Great traditional Italian with big portions and mom's house ambiance.

My husband and I met friends here for dinner. Service was fair and the food was just OK. There are other neighborhood gems I'd go to first before returning to Bacchanalia. Although, I will say, I'd return just for the canolli's which were out of this world!

Had a fantastic dinner before the Blackhawks Game. Arrived a bit early and had a couple drinks at the bar. Bartender was very friendly and easy to talk to. The food was GREAT as usual. I usually come for lunch with a couple of my buds, my Wife hadn't been here before and was blown away at how delicious the food and service was. Nobody has better Linguine and Claims than Bacchanalia! What a Gem!!

We've been to Bacchanalia's many times before over the years! Food is delicious real deal Italian! Our waitress was Maria! Very nice, appropriately attentive, pleasant, and helpful! Last Saturday our dining experience was enjoyable!😀
